An observer is standing 500 m away from ...

An observer is standing 500 m away from a vertical hill. Starting between the observer and the hill, a police van sounding a siren of frequency 1000 Hz moves towards the hill with a uniform speed. If the frequency of the sound heard directly from the siren is 970 Hz, the frequency of the sound heard after reflection from the hill (in Hz) is about,(velocity of sound = `330ms^-1`

A

`1042`

B

`1032`

C

`1022`

D

`1012`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`f_(1)=f_(0)((v)/(v+v_(s)))` and `f_(2)=f_(0)((v)/(v-v_(s)))`
